Ray,
I agree with most of what you say. However, Catholic schools in California
have a deserved reputation for producing good results. Side by side public
and Catholic schools here show a better result from the Catholic School
than from the public.
Also, the Catholic bureaucracy has one third

You are quite right, Ray. Government run American education is a mess. It
should be part of a private competitive system. Then things would improve.

Paying down the Debt - which is what they should do - isn't a great

I rarely find a genuine communist or socialist. Lots of waffling liberals,

Your quote suggests why the problem will never be solved (which will prove
